“. . . the chauffeur’s daughter who learned her stuff in Paris!” Director Billy Wilder follows the adventures of Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) who is transformed from gangly teenager to beautiful, self-possessed woman upon her return from finishing school abroad. As the daughter of a mega-rich family’s chauffeur, she’s had a lifelong crush on the high-living playboy son, David (William Holden), someone who never knew she existed until her homecoming. Delighted to finally being taken seriously, Sabrina is alarmed and confused when she finds herself falling-in-love with David’s workaholic older brother, Linus (Humphrey Bogart). As the May-December romance slowly blossoms, a variety of obstacles – some real, some imagined – materialize. Who will ultimately claim Sabrina’s heart?
“In our wistful estimation, the most delightful comedy-romance in years.” – Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
“It’s a Cinderella story that gets turned on its head, a satire about breaking down class and emotional barriers, and a confrontation between New World callousness and Old World humanity.” – Derek Adams, Time Out
